22.

Last week, I TURNED 22!!
I wasn't too excited about it, mostly because I was having a bad week; and well, 22 seemed really really old. So on the note, I was just planning on having a simple dinner with the family & the best friend at a simple cafe or something. But I should know better, with the amazing parents & friends I have, it can never be just that simple :)

I had to go to college for lectures in the afternoon. And then like an hour before dinner time, when I suggested Japan Centre Cafe or Basuba (a shared table concept Thai restaurant with amazing food), my parents thought I was nuts because 1) Would have to queue for both, 2) it was my birthday!

Ended up settling on Nobu so I hurriedly called them up and luckily they could squeeze us in so last minute. Was quite funny too, cos when I gave them my number, they already had my name in their client list hahahaha.


Tuna Tataki & Rock Shrimp Tempura


Sushi & Sashimi Platters




I usually order the cod fish miso (which is their signature dish, and fantastic btw) but decided to try a karage instead so Jia had the cod fish miso (and i pinched)


my birthday "cake" - i took like forever to think of how to phrase my wish, and then took forever to make the wish because that's just how long my wish was. the other 3 said I'm very greedy :(

And then Jia suggested that we go for a drink. She told me that her friend told her about this really cool bar situated on the top of Primrose Hill & that you could see the whole of London from there. So I agreed and off we went. I asked her if we'd have to hike up Primrose Hill but she said that we would drop right at the bar, and I believed her, no more questions asked.

When we got there though, she shouted surprise together with a few of my other pals! I had been duped! There was no bar, we DID have to hike up the hill (in my 4 inch heels no less) but it was AMAZING. Breath taking view of the entire london it it's night lights; favourite cake; rose wine & chardonnay and the best damn company :) Wished D were there, it would have been EVEN more perfect than it already was :)


No idea what the jokers were doing.


they bought me my favourite strawberry cake from patisserie valerie & i really finished 3/4 of it by myself like a pig. they were tres shocked at the speed i was stuffing it into my mouth, haha UNGLAM.




more of all of us (minus whoever was taking each picture)

jason, wayniq, aruno.


love you bestie! and thanks to all my pals! super touched :)


OH OH OH and on midnight of my birthday Singapore time, the boy asked me to check my email :)
Turns out he had BAKED me a chocolate fondant cake! OMG. He has never, ever ever baked in his life, ever ever ever. And I thought it was so sweet he made an effort to (practice a few times and then finally) bake me a birthday cake, especially because I couldn't be there. This is by far, the best birthday cake ever, better than the Chanel cake they designed me for my 21st! I loved it, and was really so damn touched, and I know I'm lucky :)


Last year's cake.


And then on my birthday itself, I woke up to "Happy Birthday to my Princess" ; a very sweet card & a big bouquet of sunflowers (which are my fave flowers!) ♥ ♥ ♥


Anyway, I won't be in London town for the next few days. Going to take a short relaxing getaway! I've got a few posts queued to go onto my tumblr. I'll also be twittering little updates & pictures onto my twitter everyday from my BB! :)

Have a good week y'all!
